Whenever possible, the collected data is de-identified, aggregated and/or anonymized.

Cookies and Similar Technologies. This Website may use cookies, pixel tags, and local storage (such as data caches and server logs) to distinguish you from other users of our Services. Cookies do not contain any information that personally identifies you, but personal information that we store about you may be linked, by us, to the information stored in and obtained from cookies.
We may use certain cookies, as described here in our privacy notice, that you agree to when you visit this Website and in the case of some cookies, for legitimate interests of delivering and optimizing the Website (where the cookie delivers essential functionality or for security reasons). We use cookies and similar technologies for several reasons:
Any cookies we may use on this Website may include session cookies. A session cookie expires when you close your browser. We will use this information to make our Website more relevant to your interests.

Other than the WordPress cookies referred to above, there are no other tracking technologies deployed via this Website.
We use your information for various purposes depending on the types of information we have collected from you, in order to:
Combined Information. For the purposes discussed in this privacy notice, we may combine the information that we collect through this Website with information that we receive from your engagement with our other websites and use such combined information in accordance with this privacy notice.
Aggregate Data. We may aggregate information collected through our Sites and Services so that the information can no longer be linked to you or your device. We may use the combined information for any internal purpose, including without limitation for marketing purposes.
We share your personal information with the following types of third parties:
Affiliates and Subsidiaries. We may share information we collect within our family of companies to deliver our services to you, and to enhance our services and your customer experience.
Service Providers. We share your information with select third parties who assist us in operating our Sites, conducting our business, and providing services to us on your behalf. They provide a variety of services to us, including marketing, sales, database management, research, customer service, data storage, security, fraud prevention, and legal services. They have access to perform these services but are prohibited from using your information for other purposes. We will provide a list of third-party service providers upon request.
Protection of Us and Others. By accessing this Website, you acknowledge and agree that we may also release your information when required by law or in good faith when we believe that disclosure is reasonably necessary to comply with the law or legal process (e.g., a subpoena or court order), enforce our privacy notice or other contracts with you, including investigations of potential related violations, or to protect ours or others’ rights, property, or safety, respond to claims that any content violates the rights of third parties; or to respond to your requests for customer service. This includes exchanging information with other companies and organizations for fraud protection, and spam/malware prevention, and similar purposes.
Business Transfers. As we continue to develop our business, we may buy, merge, or partner with other companies. In such transactions (including in contemplation of such transactions), user information may be among the transferred assets. If a portion or all of our assets are sold or transferred to a third-party, customer information (including your email address) would likely be one of the transferred business assets. If such transfer is subject to additional mandatory restrictions under applicable laws, we will comply with such restrictions.
Partners. From time to time, we may engage in marketing and promotional activities with other brands (our “Partners”), which we think will appeal to our customers and potential customers. Partners may be provided with non- identifying or aggregate information indicating the demographic information of visitors to this Website, and opportunities to market to select segments of our customer base indirectly. When we share aggregate customers data, we do so in a way that it cannot identify you.
You may instruct us not to use your contact information to contact you regarding our services, promotions, or other events that might appeal to your interests. You can also opt out by following the instructions located at the bottom of any commercial emails you may receive.
Some U.S. state laws provide state residents with additional privacy rights. We are not currently subject to any U.S. state law which grants its residents with additional privacy rights, including the California Consumer Protection Act.
Regulatory agencies such as the U.S. Federal Trade Commission have promoted the concept of Do Not Track as a mechanism to permit Internet users to control online tracking activity across websites through their browser settings.
Since no industry standard has been adopted, we currently do not process or comply with any web browser’s “do-not-track” signal or other similar mechanism that indicates a request to disable online tracking of individual users who visit our Sites or use our Services.
Our Services are all directed to people who are at least 16 years old or older.
We do not knowingly collect any “personal information” (as defined by the U.S. Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act) from anyone under 16 years of age without valid parental consent. If we become aware that we have collected such personal information without parental consent, we will take reasonable steps to delete it as soon as possible.
We also comply with other age restrictions and requirements in accordance with applicable local laws.
We keep your information for no longer than necessary for the purposes for which it is processed. The length of time for which we retain information depends on the purposes for which we collected and used it and/or as required to comply with applicable laws.
We implement a variety of security measures designed to protect the safety of your personal information from loss, misuse, and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction when you enter or submit your personal information on this Website. However, no Internet or email transmission is ever fully secure or error free. Please keep this in mind when disclosing any information to us via the Internet.

In the event that our Sites link to other websites that include our branding, this Privacy Notice does not apply to those other websites. Visitors to those websites are advised to carefully read the notices on those individual websites.
In the event of a change in ownership, or a merger with, acquisition by, or transfer or sale of all or a portion of our assets to another entity, we reserve the right to transfer all of your personal information, including email addresses, to that entity. We will use reasonable efforts to notify you of any such transfer to an unaffiliated third party (by a posting on our homepage, or by email to your email address that you provided to us, as chosen by us at our discretion).
